locate and updatedb gives command not found



I am on a fresh CentOS machine and whenever I use locate or updatedb to search for a file, it tells me "command not found".

What is the reason? How do I install locate or updatedb on the server?

Install slocate to run locate/updatedb on your CentOS or RedHat linux server as follows:

yum install slocate

Thanks it worked!
